"Do you know what nationalism is? It is the feeling that "My country, right or wrong", or the feeling that 'my country' has vast treasures [of spiritual knowledge etc.] and is therefore greater than any other nation. When we identify ourselves with a particular country and feel proud of it, we bring about nationalism in the world. Nationalism is a false god, but millions of people are very serious about it; they will go to war, destroy, kill or be killed int he name of their country, and this kind of seriousness is used and exploited by the politicians."
